    Already watched about 6 or 7 preseason games....... Very pumped for this season to begin. I know a lot of guys on here just watch the Blazers and nobody else, but heres a place us "basketball" fans can talk about other teams.

    Couple of things I've already noticed.......

    Orlando is gonna suck bigtime!

    The Clippers are by far the deepest team in the league. They have a great bench! Odom, Crawford, Bledsoe, Barnes, Hill and Touriaf

    Dallas looks like they might surprise some teams out there. Still pretty deep even with the loss of Kidd and Terry.

    I don't think Anthony Davis is going to dominate like they say.

    Lakers even though they lost last night and have a thin bench, are going to win 70 games and the NBA title.

    Agree strongly with both of those points. Clippers are insanely deep but they need to be because the health of a few of their starters (Blake/CP3/Butler) don't have the greatest track records and I'v said it many times I think Blake is the most overrated player in the league.
    Davis is going to be a beast in a few years but he is going to have the same problem every big man has and thats learning how to defend and rebound without fouling. He is also playing on a team that has not one but two ball hogs (Gordon/Rivers). The "experts" picking him to win RoY aren't thinking to deeply about their picks.

    Didn't see Davis' final box score, but he will have no problem helping from the weak side and blocking shots left and right...... but he was getting moved around pretty easily in the post by some of Orlando's bigs.

    Watching Toronto vs RealMadrid right now. I have always been a Rudy Fernandez supporter, but watching him in this game proves to me he will never take his game to the next level. Too bad, he could have been a special player for us! #fucktrevorariza!

    Dion Waiters...... the god damned #4 pick in the NBA draft only got 15 minutes of playing time last night..... in a PRESEASON game! I think this guy will be out of the league in 4 years.

    I remember a poster here going apeshit over Waiters. Dude looks like he's gonna be a low efficiency chucker who can't shoot or finish.

    I look for Denver to surprise a lot of people. I think they will finish top 4 which means Lakers, OKC, Clips or Dallas will not.

    Agree about Anthony Davis. I think MKG is going to have a better rookie year.

    Davis vs MKG on today. I can't believe I'm going to watch a NOH vs CHA preseason game (if it's streamed that is).
